My wife and this woman have been friends since college and both work in the same field. Her leaving her husband did not surprise me as her marital pro...lems go back at least a year. My wife and I on the other hand have been married just over 7 years, and together 9. Among our circle of friends, we appeared to be the poster c***d of a happy couple. Both of us have successful careers, nice house, cars, do lots of things together. I do travel some for my job, but that's part of what pays for our.

Apparently satisfied, her mouth tentatively touched mine and we kissed for the first time. My hands slid gently up her back and although I wasn’t touching her firmly I could.

I lighted my cig.Niki- I also want a smoke. Can I join you?Me- yeah why not, plz feel free.Niki- so again drunk today?Me- yeah kinda. But I’m ok.Niki- do you realize that you have become alcoholic?Me- yeah, but that’s become a way of life now, can’t help much.Niki- oh shut up! There’s so much in life to.
